JXTA in a Nutshell

Name

Package net.jxta.membership

Synopsis

Classes in this package define and interact with the JXTA membership service. The membership service is a core JXTA service: each peergroup contains a membership service that is used to control which peers may join the peergroup. A peer that wants to join a peergroup that enforces a membership restriction must create an appropriate AuthenticationCredential object and pass it to the apply( ) method of the membership service. The returned Authenticator must then be populated and passed to the join( ) method of the membership service. The class hierarchy for this package is shown in Figure 9-9.
